Can I become chef after hospitality management and tourism management?Is NITHM college good?
Hello there
Of course you can become a chef as you must have any food production as a core subject in your curriculum as you have studied hospitality but if in case if you haven't as most of the hospitality courses doesn't then I would suggest you to do one year diploma in culinary arts and fine-tune which will embark you and will make you skillful to become a chef. Also you can try to get an internship in any hotel to learn various skills related to it.
Talking about the college which you have mentioned named National Institute of tourism and Hospitality Management is a very good college which imparts great education in the field of hospitality and management if you want to go into that career and according to your question I can guess you want to. This college is affiliated to Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University and is approved by AICTE.
I hope it helps you!

IS SCIENCE COMPULSORY TO TAKE IN 9TH & 10TH STD ICSE TO BECOME A CHEF? CAN WE DO BY OPTING SUBJECTS LIKE MATHS & ECONOMICS?
Hi,
To become a chef, you can choose any subject in 9th and 10th. If you wish to opt Maths and Economics, you can choose it. However, the most basic educational qualification needed to be a chef is to complete a 2-year or 4-year culinary arts programme. You can choose courses like pastry preparation, culinary techniques or any other topic.
I hope your query is cleared,
Thank you.
I am currenlty in BBA Final Year and preparing for CAT. Im not interested in doing an MBA in business but I have no other choice because of my family. I want to become a pastry chef. How do I achieve that after MBA in Finance/ Marketing?
Hello aspirant,
Hope you are doing well.
I am glad to know that you are willing to pursue your passion. BUt for this you need to ensure that you have adquate finaces with you. This is because after doing an MBA in finance, the only way you can be a pastry chef is to get into a culinary course, hotel management course and opening up your own bakery. Yes, I am not kidding. Doing MBA will give you many lessons on entrepreneurship, business modelling and much more. Just that if you have the finances, you can make it through.
Or may be after doing an MBA from reputed and top colleges, you will not be getting any package less than 25 lakhs. You can work for 3-5 years and then you can enter the career you want. Give yourself some time and think about it.
Hope that you got the answer to your question. Feel free to comment back incase of any doubts. All the Best!
